More Banjo: Week 1 versus Bears

[Rutnstrut]

BTW, with Peppers, I was thinking of his continued career back with Carolina. Who saw that productivity coming? He really looked done to me in his last season with Packers.

Maybe Clay's career will yet get some of that juice that Bossman swears by.


edit: shit, just now see Peppers signed ANOTHER contract with Carolina. Big guy is juicin for sure.

Carolina knows how to use Pepp on a limited basis. GB can't seem to figure that out with captain washed up.

Imagine what this forum would've done to Nietschke his last couple years.

We would be staring into the abyss without fear.

I know they couldn't cut him in the past because of the cap hit but I thought they could have cut him this year with not much of a hit. He is an UFA after this year.

It's unfortunate we didn't try to trade him this offseason so we could get something for him. Let's hope Pettine can get him to play better and not overrun every damn play going forward.

By the way, I thought "Pettine" was pronounced like "poutine" but I heard someone on the radio call him "Pettine" as in "pettin'." So can we now call him Mike "Heavy" Pettine?

Yeah, he was overweight, so they called him "Heavy Pettin" in Cleveland

I call him Poutine

Excellent point. Yet the forum was OK with Donald Driver when he played with dentures and orthopedic shoes. It's Clay's flowing blonde hair that gets um. They want to keep the white man down!

That's the German philosopher, you moron.

No kidding, his assistant in Cleveland was Mike Hunt.
